Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Two stars because I’m a few months into owning this product. I wish I could give five stars for the quality!! But in the end, the size for the price is totally impractical. Here is why: I use this can for the main kitchen trash of a family of three and the two parents work and the child is in school. Needless to say we are super busy and there is a mix of quick dinner nights and full-on wholesome homemade dinners with a lot of prep in the kitchen. We recycle a lot. We drink beer occasionally. We have water bottles occasionally and never soda. We have the usual junk mail that goes right into the recycle. We have coffee grounds that go into the trash everyday. All that said, we have a decent amount of daily trash and recycle, but I would say a typical amount of both m for a working/school family of three. The can just doesn’t work for us. Its compartments are way too small, the lifting out the inner cans is awkward and the bags are expensive and ridiculous so we bought regular ones. Either bag type is wrangled and weird so it’s difficult to make it work. We chose to have the recycling in the larger compartment but that left zero space for trash. If you put in trash on the small side, you’ll be taking out the trash everyday. Likewise if you switch the sides. My husband says the small side would be perfect for compost, but then you would have the awkwardness of the bags and pulling out the insert. We have grown to loathe this trash can. Especially since we paid around $140 for it. It makes me kind of sick thinking about the price. The quality is really top notch however. My recommendation is that this can is NOT your main trash, especially if you are a three person family or larger. Sadly, I am considering making it the laundry or downstairs kitchen trash bag. Oh well. I hope you have better luck.
